I’ve been sewing a few small things in-between other projects (and life!) over the last month or so, and this is them: These are furoshiki wraps – squares of fabric tied around objects like a bag. I meant to make them all the same size, but I don’t mind a bit of variety! I don’t…… Continue reading Sewing Things

Stuff that doesn’t quite fit anywhere else.
Quick Refresher
Recently, I took Sarah and Petra along on a weekend away. The first place we went to was a small museum complex. Outside, we found this very cheery fence of ‘sunflowers’…. ….and inside, we found this horse and cart that had been yarnbombed! I loved the little granny square on the step in the photo…… Continue reading Quick Refresher
Pirate Shirt (but bigger)
When you’ve just made a simple pair of dungarees as your third item of handmade clothing, what do you do next? A pirate shirt, of course! I sewed the main seams by machine, but did all the seam-felling, reinforcement patches, hems….. …..buttons and buttonholes by hand. (Machine buttonholes are beyond my skills at the moment!)…… Continue reading Pirate Shirt (but bigger)
Happy Easter!
Remember last year, when Sarah painted eggs for her friends? Well, they were so popular, that this year, she’s organised an egg-painting party! T: “Oh, the table looks so good!” P: “It really does,” S: “Thanks!” S: “Ok, here are the eggs, where should I put them so everyone can reach?” P: “Maybe in the…… Continue reading Happy Easter!
Star Pants
I was originally just going to make the one floral pair of life-size pants, but then I saw this fabric: …and all of a sudden, I’ve made two pairs! This is the same pattern as the last pair; though I do add hanging loops (like the one below) to all my homemade clothes. I would…… Continue reading Star Pants
Floral Pants
My first piece of me-made clothing is finished! You may remember I received that big purple sewing book for Christmas? These are the ‘Safiya’ pants from the book. I (obviously) put pockets in…. ….and I also made the legs a bit slimmer. I love the fabric I used, and the pockets are huge! You could…… Continue reading Floral Pants

Hey, have you seen this? Today’s my five-year blogiversary! Clearly, a small party is in order. To celebrate, I’ve compiled links to my five favourite crafts/posts over the last five years! They are, in no particular order: 1: The TARDIS set ~ This is definitely one of the biggest things I’ve made! Not to mention…… Continue reading Five Years
Decorating In and Out
In-between decorating her apartment…. ….Sarah’s helping Tiffany and Petra decorate the stores for the holidays. Most of their time is spent being silly with the decorations, though. “What do you think Petra?” “Uhm….” “Hey Tiff, can I borrow extra hooks for my wreath and these lights?” “Sure I’ll just– Sarah’s got biscuits!” “Do you want…… Continue reading Decorating In and Out
